Proficiencies: Features: Stormcloud of Thoon Body: The Stormcloud of Thoon loses all other racial bonuses and becomes a construct, with all of it's penalties and disadvantages, except for the extra HP:
# No Constitution score.
# Low-light vision.
# Darkvision out to 60 feet.
# Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).
# Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromancy effects.
# Cannot heal damage on their own, but often can be repaired by certain spells. The DM may also allow the construct to be repaired with the use of the right skills with the right tools. A construct with the fast healing special quality still benefits from this quality.
# Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain.
# Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).
# Not at risk of death from massive damage. Immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less.
# Since it was never alive, a construct cannot be raised or resurrected except for limited wish, wish and miracle. The 1st makes the construct lose a level, the other two don't.
#However, it can be "repaired" if destroyed by spending 24 hours of work and 500 GP of materials, which make it lose a level.
The Stormcloud of Thoon is a medium sized construct with base speed 30 feet and Swim speed 20 feet. If has four tentacle natural attacks each dealing 1d4+Str mod damage that can also perform fine manipulation.
It also gains a bonus to its Nat armor equal to its Str modifier and is immune to Acid.
Finally it gains +1 HP per HD. This bonus retroatively increases by +1 for every 5 HD of the Stormcloud of Thoon.
Natural Healing: A Stormcloud of Thoon is capable of natural healing, albeit very slowly. A Stormcloud of Thoon heals 1 hit point for every 8 hours it remains motionless. It can also be healed trough magic means such as cure spells and potions as if it was a living being.
Illumination: As a swift action a Stormcloud of Thoon can emit light from its eyes, shedding light in a 10 feet cone plus 10 feet per HD, and provide shadowy illumination in a cone with twice that range. Either way this light lasts until Illumination is turned off, another swift action.
Levitative Movement: Even when the Stormcloud of Thoon uses its land speed, their body is actually floating about 5 feet off the ground, propelled by an unseen force. A Stormcloud of Thoon’s tentacles don’t need to touch the ground when moving, and the creature is unaffected by difficult or hazardous terrain. However for now they cannot fly more than 5 feet above the ground.
Thoon Bolt: As a standard action a Stormcloud of Thoon can replicate Lighting bolt as the spell, DC 10+1/2 HD+Wis mod and CL up to Stormcloud of Thoon level, but takes 2 damage for each CL.
Spell Sentinel: A Stormcloud of Thoon can, as SLAs, use Detect Magic 2/day per HD and Shield 1/day, plus another time per day at 3 HD and each 2 HD therefeafter.
Ability Score Increase: The Stormcloud of Thoon gains a permanent
+1 to Dex at levels 1 and 5
+1 to Wis at levels 1, 3 and 5
for a total of +2 Dex and +3 Wis at 5th level.
Quintissence Construct:At 2nd and 4th levels pick another of the following options:
Future Tech-This Stormcloud of Thoon has been equiped with technology from a far away future. It gains 20 arsenal space and can take level I options from the
Arsenal. If it has to spend energy, it must pay HP in a 1 to 1 basis. All weapon stats are converted from mecha scale to regular scale. They can be changed by remaining 8 hours immobile.
If you take this option twice, your arsenal space increases to 40.
Ancient Tech- The Stormcloud of Thoon has been equiped with plain but reliable technology. Thoon Bolt costs 2 HP less to use and range increases by 20 feet for each time you pick this.
Fantastic Tech-The Stormcloud of Thoon picks one of
Chinese Star,
Dream Battle,
Plain History or
Doll Judgement. You learn one 1st level maneuver or stance of that school. In addition the related skill becomes a class skill for the Stormcloud of Thoon and it always counts as having max ranks in it.
If you pick this option twice, you learn a 2nd level or lower maneuver or stance from the respective school, and the Stormcloud of Thoon may use may use Wis instead of the discipline's main stat.
If you pick this this option thrice, you learn a 3rd level or lower maneuver or stance from the respective school, and Stormcloud of Thoon levels grant full IL for that school's purposes.
Either way, those maneuvers are recovered whenever the Stormcloud of Thoon uses Thoon Bolt.
Pure Tech-Two of the Stormcloud of Thoon’s tentacles counts as weapons created by
Pure Crafting. Once the specific materials are chosen, they cannot be changed.
If you pick this option twice, all of the Stormcloud of Thoon’s tentacles count as pure metal, and you can upgrade them to masterwork and above as if they were manufactured pure metal weapons.
At 3rd level a Stormcloud of Thoon gains a pair of delicate tentacles that cannot be used to attack but grant tremorsense 10 feet plus 10 feet per HD. However they must bury one of those tentacles a few inches under the ground for this ability to work, a swift action. Pulling it off is a free action, disabling this ability. The tentacle cannot be used for anything else while buried like this, and if the Stormcloud of Thoon moves from their position their current square must remove the tentacle as well.
Floating Sentinel: At 3rd level the Stormcloud of Thoon gains a flight speed of 10 feet with perfect maneuverability, being able to raise as high as it wants.
Combat Reflexes: At 4th level the Stormcloud of Thoon gains Combat Reflexes as a bonus feat even if it doesn’t meet the prerequisites. If it already had it, gains another feat for which it meets the prequisites instead.
Thoon Tentacles: At 5th level the Stormcloud of Thoon can add its Wis mod to tentacle attack rolls as well as Trip and Grapple checks as long as using their tentacles. In addition Thoon Bolt’s max CL is now equal to total HD instead of just Stormcloud of Thoon levels.
Floating robot egg with tentacles. Classic, wotc.
Surprisingly no grapple abilities on the original monster. Just float around whipping people and shooting lighting bolts that cost HP. Also has a bunch of detection abilities, and is sentient by itself, thus no awakened tag. And couldn’t resist giving some bonus to grapple at the end.
So if you want to play a floating mechanized alien probe, the Stormcloud of Thoon’s for you!
